Robertson led New Zealand to a 23-13 win over Ireland in Dublin last year, while his predecessor Ian Foster oversaw the 2023 Rugby World Cup quarter-final win in Paris.
But the 51-year-old insists his side do not “have the edge” over Ireland, who have beaten the southern hemisphere giants four times since their historic 2016 victory in Chicago, including twice on New Zealand soil.
“There’s more margins. There’s a referee’s call or a second effort or a bounce of the ball that’s gone either way,” he said.
“We expect this weekend as well to be a really tight, physical match, won on skill-set or effort or something like that. Like I said before, you expect the best of them and we’ve got to be on our best on the day.”
He added: “There’s going to be a lot of green there, it’s not the Aviva [Stadium], but it’s pretty close – in regards to a lot of Irish being around the place and also what we learned last time and what was the lesson, so we’ll be sticking to that.”
